From specialized drug delivery needles to custom surgical blades, Cadence brings decades of sharps manufacturing experience to complex medical device applications. A needle or blade may be a small part of a medical device, but its design, geometry, surface finish, and manufacturing consistency are critical to meeting the requirements of the finished device. Cadence has been manufacturing custom blades and needles since its founding as Specialty Blades in 1985. Today, that experience supports MedTech and Pharma OEMs developing advanced drug delivery systems, surgical instruments, diagnostic devices, and sensing technologies. Many applications require specialized geometries, unique configurations, or manufacturing processes tailored to specific device designs. Cadence combines specialized sharpening and grinding processes with engineering expertise to manufacture custom sharps for demanding applications. Our manufacturing expertise extends beyond needles and blades. Cadence supports a broad range of medical technologies, including diagnostic and sensing devices and wearable drug delivery systems. With capabilities spanning precision metal manufacturing, plastic injection molding,...

As medical devices become smaller, more sophisticated, and more specialized, manufacturers need production methods that can keep pace with increasingly complex designs. Cadence's Metal Injection Molding (MIM) capability plays a vital role in helping customers develop high-performance components that meet the demanding requirements of today’s healthcare industry. MIM combines the flexibility of plastic injection molding with the strength and durability of metal, making it an ideal solution for producing small, intricate components with complex geometries, tight tolerances, and excellent surface finishes. The process allows engineers to design parts that would be difficult, or in some cases impossible to manufacture efficiently, using traditional machining methods. For medical device manufacturers, this design freedom can be a significant advantage. MIM supports the production of components used in a wide range of applications, from minimally invasive surgical instruments and endoscopic devices to robotic-assisted surgical systems and implantable technologies. By utilizing materials such as stainless steel, titanium, and cobalt-chrome alloys, manufacturers can achieve the...
